German term or phrase: ohne Angabe

I am proofing a translation of a Mitteiluing aus dem britischen Strafresgister in connection with a Führungzeugnis from the Bubndesamt für Justiz.

This term appears at the bottom of the name/address info at the top right of the page.

The sentence that follws reads: "Hier sind die daten wiedergegebaen, die vom ausländischen Strafregister übermittklt wurden".

I have the feeling there is a specific bureaucratic/legal connotation here.

The translator has gone for "Not stated" but I think we needed to do better than that.

Does it have the sense that the Bundesamt cannot vouch for th3e accuracy of the information?
